Exclusive Codes

Exclusive Codes – A type of coupon creative which allow an advertiser to specify that the use of a specific coupon code will always result in commission for the publisher associated with it, regardless of whether they are present in the clickstream or not.

**All tracking types can use Exclusive Codes, however to do so, the integration team must enable the Exclusive Coupons permission. This is to ensure that the advertiser is properly sending coupons in their pixel fire.

**This feature is an enhanced version of Personalized Codes. All advertisers who previously used Personalized Codes will also be able to use Exclusive Codes.

**If an exclusive code is also added as a Suppressed Code, the Suppressed Code functionality will supersede the Exclusive Code functionality.

**You cannot use the same coupon code more than once at the current time. Ensure that all codes being used are unique.

2. Click the Settings Link that corresponds to the Exclusive Codes feature.

3. Check the Enabled checkbox, then click Update.

**If, on the Attribution Settings page, the Exclusive Codes feature appears with grey messaging stating to contact the integration team’s Zendesk email, this means that the Exclusive Coupons permission is not enabled.
